  • This is how I'd imagine supermarkets sounded at this time of year in the 60s. With Christmas around the corner, but not quite December yet, this gives a mix of regular and Christmas songs.

    2. Workroom - Charles Williams
    3. Joy To The World - Medallion Orchestra
    4. Window Gazing - Ivor Slaney
    5. Christmas - The Metro Strings

    7. Silent Night - Medallion Orchestra

      I went to a vintage Christmas market. The first thing I remarked on was how it’s amazing how the people there were so interested in buying vintage Christmas things, but did not have the vintage attitudes. A lot of scowling, pushing and entitlement. Sad

      Sadly a lot of racism existed in this time too. Maybe people of colour would have a harder time thinking that people were nice and polite back then .
      Either way, a wonderful era aesthetically and such beautiful decorations.

Christmastime was especially magical because you didn't even see a Christmas decoration until AFTER Thanksgiving. When the first signs of Christmas showed up, the excitement was palpable. I really miss those times.

      If you live long enough “what comes around goes around” Pay attention. Notice young women learning to sew and bringing back vintage clothes. Notice young men on tik tok telling other men to dress better. Notice ppl speaking & pronouncing their words. For example, the word important , they are not pronouncing it importan not dropping the ( t) they are actually pronouncing the (t) at the end of the word. Pay attention to crafts being learned. Pay attention to second hand stores being crowed. Ppl are going back to old ways that we need to keep. Ppl are calling out parents who think is amusing that their children curse. There are changes taking place for the better.

Hudson's for lunch in one of the " dining rooms" in that magnificent store, then shop all afternoon.

    My first recollection of the grocery store was in 1967. I was around 4 years old, and it looked similar to these examples. I remember the muzak and the checkers punching in the prices and hitting the grand total button hard. I remember them weighing the produce on the big scales and wondering how do they know how much each item costs without the price sticker. Then when they were through the S&H Green Stamps or Blue Chip stamps would come out, and we would all be excited! Woo hoo!

    Even though this video takes place in the 1960s, I remember grocery shopping with my mother in the mid to late seventies and not being much different between the decades. I grew up in a very small town, with two very small competing grocery stores. My mom and dad would make enough money to only go grocery shopping every two weeks, and she was able to find everything we needed in both of those grocery stores in our small town. Now I have to go to like, three to four different grocery stores just to find the items I need, it drives me absolutely crazy!!

    This brings back fond memories (although at the time I'd have never known it would become a memory); the meat section is exactly how our Supermarket was layed out. Women dressed up when they went out for groceries or most places for that matter! I remember my mom wearing red lipstick & high heels. Ho hum. And everyone went to the one Supermarket where I live as there was no real competition back then. How I remember department store windows all dressed up with different Christmas scenes or things to buy. And I noticed it wasn't even a question or a choice - paper bags were the norm until the sinister plastic bags came along. Little did the manufacturers know that decades later, they were so very harmful to our environment. Everytime something knew came along, we thought it was great & we were progressing with the times. It's not until you're much older do you realize that that so much should have stayed like it was.

    Throughout the 1950s to early 1980s, the red owl stores were a major chain. I well recall Christmas times around 1960-61 going there, and marveling at all the expensive big toy items being shown on the top shelves. The ones most kids could only dream of getting for Christmas.

    Born in the 60's. Christmas in the 60's and 70's had a special kind of nostalgia. Times were better then but we didn't realize it. People had respect and cared about others & were polite. Christmas back then meant dreaming of the toys as a child & all the colours, decorations, food, family & friends-that magical feeling. People where I grew up didn't have a lot but we had what mattered. Merry Christmas Everyone!🎄

    Rudy Voss's Keystone market or the State Street Food Market here in Erie Pa when I was a kid would play this type of music. Now that I'm 70 I realize how many good times we had back then. Way way way before the internet ruined the world. We would go down town when we were 10-12 years old, at night, and my mom never worried about us. We walked everywhere as kids and didn't have a care. I feel sorry for today's youth that will never know the bliss of silence or not having to be entertained constantly. P.S. our parents didn't attend every single sporting event or other event that you were in, and we liked it that way. And so did they.

    19:39 they don't have the mirrors above anymore at supermarkets. they made so much sense but probably too expansive to include nowadays. things were more artful then. they were functional too. not only could you see everything without needing to dig around, the butcher could slide the mirror from behind to restock.

    What a great time capsule of music to hear again. I was born in 1958 and l most likely heard this same music, growing up, in the grocery stores but didn't really listen to it as closely as l do now. Wow!!! I really miss those days so, so much; living in the world....as it is today.

    '56er here. When I was very little, Mom used to take us sometimes to Maison Blanche on the Westside to shop... or for a treat, to Canal Street in New Orleans. We had to travel an hour to get there, and we wore our best. We would often stop to eat at Morrison's cafeteria before heading back out to the country.

    Thanks for the memories in the 1960s when I was in my mid teens! Some things haven't changed, many things have changed as well! In my beautiful residential hometown in northern NJ we had two small supermarkets, A & P with the old wooden floors from the early 1900s and Grand Union which was also rather small! My late beloved mom had four kids and we had a small refrigerator with the freezer section with two ice cube trays the size of a small shoe box! So she had to go food shopping almost everyday! The milkman delivered milk, eggs , cottage cheese and Dugans delivered baked goods similar to Entemens! Though my mom came from a long line of grandmothers born in the 1800s who were blue ribbon bakers at country fairs, the famed Pennsylvania Dutch who fed the troops at Valley Forge and Yankee New England authentic cooking/baking! The major differences are the grocery stores are monster sized stores these days, way too big imho as the elderly/disabled can hardly get around them and the prices of food are through the stratosphere now! And we thought inflation was bad in the 1970s! LOL Hah! I was a floral designer for a supermarket chain and saw first hand the amount of food and other things we waste everyday and throw out, not just the food, but plants get thrown out if they're not bought and past the sell date and those mylar balloons get thrown out as well, into a vast huge dumpster! We're one of the most wasteful countries in the world and unfortunately a great many Americans don't realize it or care! "Waste not, want not"..old famous proverb, the truth! Happy Holidays to all!

    I can also recall a small vending machine that had little model kits in it. Either .10 or .25 cents.
